Mentoring circle two: Assignments, Turnitin and Ouriginal
Brightspace Assignments is a tool where students can submit files or plain text for formative or summative assessment. Students can also record short audios for submissions. In addition, staff can set up On Paper or Observed in Person submission folders. Students don’t submit to these folders, but staff can use them to record their feedback and marks. Turnitin is the HE originality checker. The PeerMark function of Turnitin allows staff to set up peer review assignments. Ouriginal is the FE originality checker.

Thursday 23 March, 13:00 - 15:00
In this first mentoring session, Carolin will work with you to explore the different types of assignments you can create using the Brightspace assignments tool, with Lois sharing her own experience of using the assignment tool. We will also chat through the different options for providing feedback. To make this participant driven, please bring any use cases for assignments you would like to set up in Brightspace in the future.
Session 2: Carolin Hunter, Marion MacDonald, Elizabeth-Cottier Cook
Tuesday 18 April, 13:00 – 15:00
In this session, we will begin by inviting participants to share anything they have developed or worked on between sessions as well as respond to any queries. Elizabeth will share her experience of how she has used Turnitin tool in her own practice. After this, we will explore the originality checkers available via Brightspace.
For colleagues teaching HE, we will have a look at how to set up Turnitin assignments as well as how to use Turnitin GradeMark for optimising marking of Turnitin assignments. In addition, we can also explore Turnitin PeerMark which you can use for peer feedback sessions. For those teaching FE, we will have a look at Ouriginal, the originality checker for FE. We will explore how to link an assignment to Ouriginal as well as what the originality report looks like for students and staff.
Session 3: Carolin Hunter and Marion MacDonald, Mari Todd
Wednesday 7 June 2023: 09:30 – 11:30
This final session will begin with Mari sharing her own experience with Turnitin GradeMark.
